Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosted, surfed and targeted mouth to mouth propagation. I also use CS as the main subject for my research in network and sentiment analysis.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a ton of interesting people through couchsurfing, some of who have become very good friends. I hosted while living in Amsterdam with Philo, in Edinburgh with Jamie, surfed all through the West and finally found an amazing home mainly through Bobby. Now I live in Berkeley with a group of people all of whom I met through CS.

Interests

Systems, analogies, reading, writing, (lucid) dreaming, listening to music, making music, playing Go, index cards, cycling and other non-motorized forms of transportation, stories, dancing tango, talking to people, making soul-links, making & drinking cocktails, extending my experience.
